The Smart ConnectorAs you well know, it is that new instant connection that Apple has popularized in its range of iPad Pro devices, meanwhile, neither the Mac nor the iPhone yet have this highly demanded feature, which allows you to quickly and easily connect a lot of accessories of all kinds. But sadly it seems that the Smart Connector is not receiving the support from the manufacturers that the Cupertino company expected.
That is why in Apple is trying to reverse this situation by allying with various accessory manufacturing companies with the intention of offering a good number of compatible accessories. with this feature, far beyond the few that Apple offers, which on the other hand are quite expensive.
As we have said, it was with the iPad Pro with the first device with which Apple brought out this interesting technology, although it could be more interesting to use the wireless system (or by induction) as for example we have in the case of the Apple Watch charger. Nevertheless, this direct connection makes a lot of sense, on the one hand saving on battery consumption for both devices, and on the other hand, avoid all kinds of tedious configurations that end up wasting the user's time, connecting and using is the maximum.
That is how Fast Company has leaked that Apple is supposedly putting pressure and helping companies like Logitech at the same time to promote the manufacture of accessories with the Smart Connector by flag. However, it is clear that the problem that the Smart Connector suffers from is precisely that all the accessories that have come on the market since its introduction are excessively expensive, especially considering the prices that the competition manages in products with Bluetooth 4.1 technology that after all, it doesn't consume too much battery.
